Tumors and Cancers of the Eye.

There are certain tumors that are apt to grow within the eye-ball or in the orbit, interfering with the vision by the pressure they give rise to, or by destruction of the essential structures of the organ of sight. The retina it. self may give origin to a tumor (glioma or sarcoma) which will de- stroy the eye, and, eventually, the life of the sufferer. Such tumors are to be observed mostly, if not entirely, in children. They give peculiar yellow tint to the eye when looked at closely, somewhat reminding one of the eyes of the cat. Extirpation of the eye-ball early offers the only hope of saving life, and this is generally doomed to disappointment. The growth returns to the orbit or within the brain, and ends by killing the patient after months of suffering. Cancer, in any of its varieties, may attack the eye-ball or its surroundings in the orbit, even the bone not escaping its ravages. Its end is in death, unless life is cut short by other disease. -St Louis Globe Democrat,

Crowd Which Had No Marked Prejudice Against Penitentiary Birds.

A Crowd Which Had No Marked Prejudice
 Against Penitentiary Birds.
 A stranger entered an Austin saloon the other evening, and after scowling at the, half-dozen sitters who were gath cred there, he said: -.
 "Would you gentlemen object to taking drink with a.man what's been in State prison?n
 He was big, muscular fellow, with bad eye in his head, and he rested his left elbow sort of careless on the bar, facing the crowd. his right hand reached playfully for, his hip-pocket.
 All jumped quickly to their feet at the invitation and advanced toward the bar, exclaiming in chorus: Ger tainly not strangerH'
 I'm proud to drink with you," said the foremost man, grasping him warm ly by the hand. ''L don't think any less. of a man because he has been in Statk's prison. In fact I've served seven years in one myself"
 T have broke jail in three States, said another; "yet ain't proud. Give us your hand. :"
 'I have never been in State prison, remarked third, "but don't know how my case may turn out when they get through with it up to the court house. It looks pretty squally.",
 '1 believe in giving man chance" said fourth. "Pve got q brother in the Louisiana penitentiary, and I wouldn't like to see folks give him the cold shoulder when he comes out. "
 Many an innocent man goes to prison" remarked the fifth man. q would be there myself, Ireckon. if the States chief witness hadn't up and died just before the case came up. It was close call, tell you"
 "Well," said the stranger, "since you seem to be such hard lot by your own confession. retire my invitation. I have been in State prison for several years, not as prisoner, but as prison superintendent will see you later, no doubt, and, paying for his single drink, he departed, leaving an incon- solable crowd behind.

The Gypsy Kettle-Stick.

After the tent the next most valued necessity of the Gypsy camp is the kettle-stick Its service is the same as that of the old swinging pot-hook on the crane in the great fire-places of our forefathers. It is of iron, and the nearest thing which it resembles in form is the shepherds crook. It is about four feet long and from half inch to an inch in thicknesss, pounded out of wrought-iron by some country blacksmith, or is a triumph of skill of some Gypsy tinker, at least one of whom is found in every camp. It terminates at the top in semicir- cular bow, from foot to eighteen inches in diameter, the turned point having 8 neatly shaped upturned hook from which depends the pot or kettle. The lower end of the kettle-stick has sharp point, easily driven into the yielding earth. The fire is built next this kettle-stick, and the pot, hanging from the hook, can be given any de gree of heat by simply turning the iron rod, with the hook for a crank, any desired direction in the earthen socket.-Edgar W Waken1ar, t1s Chi- cGqo Ne10S,

NOCTURNAL VISIONS.
A Conscientious Physicians Rational View
 of Dream Representations.

| 4 Conscientious Physicians Rational View of Dream Representations.
 Wundt regards most dream repre-. sentations as really representations, since they emanate from sensorial i'm pressions which, though weak, continue during sleep. An inconvenient posi- ton during sleep causes the repre- sentation of painful work. perilous ascent of mountain, etc. A slight in- tercostal pain becomes the point of an enemy's dagger or the bite of an en- ragged dog.
 Difficulty in respiration is fearful agony caused by nightmare, the night mare seeming to be weight rolled upon the chest or a horrible monster An involuntary extension of the foot is fall from the dizzy height of tower.
 Flying is suggested by the Thy thmic movements of respiration. Further, "those subjective visual and auditory sensations which are represented in waking state as luminous chaos of an obscure visual field, by humming and roaring in the ears, and especially sub jective retinal sensations, have an es- sential role," according to Wundt. ''There are shown to us innumerable birds, butterflies, fish, multicolored pears, flowers, etc. But if there be some cutaneous irritation, these visions are usually changed into caterpillars or beetles, crawling over the skin of the sleeper"
 The sleeper sometimes dreams of his appearing on the street or in society only half dressed; the innocent cause is found in some of the bedclothes having fallen off. An inconvenient position of the sleeper, slight hindrance to respiration, or interference with the ac- tion of the heart may be the cause of dreams where one seeks an object without being able to find it, or has forgotten something on starting on journey. The movements of respira- ton may suggest to the sleeper, as previously mentioned, flying, but this flight may be objective, and instead of HlulScl1 Ll lllS Ht S6tS dih hhSCl uCoC0HNt- ing from the heavens or luminous chaos where birds are swiftly moving.
 The representation of dreams hay ing sensorial origin may have mingled with them those which arise solely from the reproduction of past memo ries. Parents and friends cut off in the flower of life ordinarily appear in dreams, because of the profound inn pression which their death or burial has made. ''hence the general opinion that the dead continue during the night their intercourse with the liv- ing" This view of dreaming is ration al, and explanatory of most of the phenomena that we are conscious of, while it may lead to a better under standing of those visions to the asleep and half-awake that are so extraordi- nary as to appear at present unac- countable except by imputing super natural causes to them.

BLUE VS. BLACK EYES.
Tommy Fane's Novel Scheme for Securing
 a Little sister to His Liking.

Tommy Fane's Novel Scheme for Securing
 Little sister to His Liking.
 Tommy Fane's hair was jet-black, and so was that of his little sister, who was only four months old. They both had black eyes. But Tommy didn't think black hair and eyes pretty. He loved his little sister very much, but he used to wish she had yellow hair and blue eyes, like those of baby he had once seen in the park.
 -as--a==-+bs- -etI-aat- f-or,, 1rbcr-c Tommy lived was a new house, and one day family moved into it. While they were putting things to rights up- stairs Tommy went in to look around.
 Almost the first thing he saw was a cradle, and in it lovely baby, with yellow hair curling in little rings all over it's head, and its eyes were blue.
 'Oh, dear! I wish our baby looked like this,'' thought Tommy. Then he wondered if his mother wouldn't rather have this baby than her own. He knew she, too, thought blue eyes pretty.
 He stood looking at the baby a mo- ment. and then lifted it from the cradle It was almost too heavy for him to car- ", but he held it close, and, taking it home, put it in his little sisters cradle. Then he carried his little sister over to the other house.
 A few minutes later the mother of the yellow-haired baby came to take the little thing upstairs. She thought when she saw the strange baby in the cradle that she must be dreaming. She knew her baby's hair and eyes couldn't have turned black in an hour. Some body had stolen her own child, and left this one in its place.
 She picked the baby up and ran across the street to tell somebody the dreadful thing that had happened. She didn't know Tommy's mother, but she went right in the house without stopping to knock. And there was Tommy. showing his mother the new little sister with the yellow hair.
 "Why, Tommy''-began his mother Then she saw the stranger in the door way. and ran to take the baby from her arms.
 And the strange lady caught up the baby in the cradle, glad enough to have found it safe.
 Both the mothers cried at first, but they laughed when Tommy told why he had exchanged the babies. They didn't scold him, for they knew he had not meant to do wrong, and was sorry he had made so much trouble. B. HdLloOeH, in Our Little Ones.

 Will murder laughter by and by. Young love turks in her merry tone, And nestles in her roguish looks, And long, hard, crooked questions moan And sob and sniffie in her books. Her dimpled hand, that seeks the curl Coquetting with her graceful head, Can make boys ears ring and whirl, And make the boy wish he were dead.
